'To all whom it mag camera;

Be it known that LGE R E S. COLEMAN, of Hutchins, in thecounty of Dallas and State of Texas, have invented a new andyaluable Improvement in Medical-Compounds; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description-of the same.

. This invention has relation to improvements in medical compounds. I

The object of the invention is to devise a curative remedy especiallyadapted to act as a purgative, a tonic and tonic alterative, and

blood-restorative, as acholagogue tonic altera:

.tive, and, whereironfails, peculiarly suited to anzemiccases; audit consists in a medical compound composed of thefollowing ingredieutsyin the proportions specified, as hereinafter more fully set forth 1 I take sulphate ofmagnesia, one hundred.

and seven grains; sulphate of soda, thirty grains; chloride of sodium, eight grains; sulphate of potassa, one anda half grain; sulphate of manganese, five and aha-1f grains; acid phosphate of iron, two grains; dilute sul-. phuric acid, ten drops; dilute phosphoric acid,

fifteen drops, which, compounded, form one ounce of my improved medicine, this being the maximum dose for a .purgative, and two drams being the tonic alterative dose.

The sulphates of magnesia, soda, and potassa, and the chloride of sodium, in all one hundred and forty-six and a half grains,

form a very effective purgative, while of .the two first ingredients from two hundred and forty to four hundred and eighty grains is required to produce an equal effect. By theaddition of the phosphate of iron the purge is rendered tonic, alterative, and restorative of the blood; with manganese, a cholagogue tonic alterative peculiarly suited to anaemic cases where iron fails; with dilute phosphoric acid,

a nerve-stimulant and aphrodisiac; and with sulphuric acid, a tonic especially directed to the vaso-motor nerves. f

Iam aware that the ingredients herein named have been employed as component parts of ordinary artificial mineral waters,and I do GEORGE s. ooLEMAE.
